* ''{{BIONICLE}}'': Energized Protodermis and Antidermis. For Energized Protodermis, see the page quote. Antidermis, meanwhile, is a semi-gaseous substance that renders those it comes in contact with [[MassHypnosis extremely suggestible]]. The "sentient" part comes in when it's revealed [[spoiler: it's the essence/consciousness of the Makuta, and the quantity currently in the hands of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Piraka]] is the consciousness of the BigBad.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', it's possible to utilize a Gem's... er, ''gem'', to power a magical artefact. While quite a common practice on Homeworld, sometimes the Gems are aware, and it leads to a AndIMustScream situation.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': you see that blue police box that can travel through time? Well, it's not just the Doctor's space-ship. 'It' is a 'she', and often chooses where the Doctor lands. Furthermore, he didn't steal a ship. ''She'' stole a ''Time Lord''.

* One of the most notable differences between the [[AlternateContinuity TV and novel continuities]] of ''{{Robotech}}'' is that the novels claim that the [[McGuffin protoculture substance]] everybody is fighting over is itself collectively sentient, and that it has been "[[ArcWords shaping]]" the events of the story to achieve its own ends. With the notable exception of [[MadScientist Lazlo Zand]], and possibly Emil Lang and the Robotech Masters, nobody seems to be aware of this. At least part of the reason for this addition to the story appears to have been to HandWave some plot points the novelization authors found otherwise illogical.
